All rights therein, except those expressly granted to you in this Agreement, are reserved by Ziff. 1. Limited License This Agreement grants you only limited rights to use the Software. Ziff grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software on a single dedicated computer or on a file server networked with multiple PC computers for the sole purpose of conducting benchmark tests to measure the performance of computer hardware and operating system configurations. You have the right to make a single copy of the Software for archival purposes and the right to transfer a copy of the Software across a network only to the PC computers attached to the network.

Identify Ziff-Davis, the name and version number of the benchmark Software used (i.e., Ziff-Davis' PC Bench (TM) Ver. 8.0); B. Identify the exact name, processor speed and type, amount of RAM, amount of secondary RAM cache, if any, hard disk size, type of hard disk controller, and size of hardware hard disk cache, if any, of the PC used for the test (e.g., WXY Corp. Model 466 with 66-MHz Intel (R) 486DX2-66 CPU, 8MB of RAM, 64KB RAM cache, 200MB hard disk, IDE controller, and no hardware disk cache); C. Identify the exact video adapter name and refresh rate that produced the result (e.g., XYZ Corp. XYZ Video adapter with a refresh rate of 72 Hz); D. Identify the operating system version (e.g., MS-DOS (R) 5.0), size and type of software disk cache, if any (e.g., SMARTDRV 2MB cache), video resolution and color depth (e.g., 800 by 600 pixels with 256 colors), and any other special conditions used to achieve the result (e.g., disk compression utility ABC version 1.0 enabled); E. State that all products used in the test were shipping versions available to the general public; F. State that the test was performed without independent verification by Ziff; and G. Follow proper trademark usage and acknowledge Ziff's trademark rights (e.g., "[ ] achieved a score of X DOSMark (TM) units on the PC Bench (TM) 8.0 test. PC Bench and DOSMark are trademarks of Ziff-Davis Publishing Company, L.P."). This Agreement and your rights hereunder shall automatically terminate if you fail to comply with any provision of this Agreement. Upon such termination, you agree to cease all use of the Software, to delete the Software, and to destroy all copies of the diskette and other materials contained in this package in your possession or under your control, or, if downloaded, to destroy any and all copies of the Software in your possession or under your control. 2.
